Image:Al Davis.jpg
Hello, since you are new user, I should inform you about Wikipedia's rules regarding non-free content. Non-free content and other images used as fair use, such as Image:Al Davis.jpg, must comply with the strict rules listed on Non-free content. One rule is that such fair use images must have a valid fair use rationale indicating why its usage would be considered fair use within Wikipedia policy and US law. As further explained on Non-free use rationale guideline, such justifications must be presented in the image description page. In addition, a separate, specific rationale must be provided for each article the image is used. Unfortunately, the Al Davis.jpg image description page only contains a fair use rationale for the Al Davis article. Because there is currently no fair use rationale for the Oakland Raiders article, your recent edits have been reverted. Therefore, if you wish to include Image:Al Davis.jpg in the Oakland Raiders article, you need to follow the instructions on Non-free use rationale guideline.

Please note that images that are free content, such as Image:Susan Collins and John Madden.jpg, are exempt from these rules, and therefore are permitted on the Oakland Raiders article without any fair use rationale.

Thanks for your cooperation. Zzyzx11 (talk) 08:33, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Zach Hurd


The article Zach Hurd has been proposed for deletion. The proposed deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Disambiguation link notification for January 16
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jack Del Rio, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Rose Bowl. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:28, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Al Miller
The article you created, Al Miller (strength coach), has been proposed for removal from Wikipedia as it appears not to meet our inclusion criteria which is outlined at Notability. For articles, particularly on living people, to be accepted and remain on Wikipedia, we require significant mention in reliable sources. If you feel you can find more sources, then you may contest the deletion by going to Al Miller (strength coach) and following the guidance on the message at the top of the page.

Brian Callahan (American football) moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Brian Callahan (American football), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the confirms on the Articles for Creation template atop the page.

Orphaned non-free image File:Raiders QB Derek Carr Camp 2018.png
Thanks for uploading File:Raiders QB Derek Carr Camp 2018.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:40, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

File:Raiders QB Derek Carr Camp 2018.png
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:03, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Eagles247. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Eric Kush, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.  Eagles   24/7  (C)  14:45, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
